Haplotype-aware genome assembly of wild Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima (sea beet) accession PI540631

Assembly of primary and alternative genomes from a single, non-inbred, individual from USDA-ARS-GRIN PI540631. PI540631 contains Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima (sea beet) germplasm originally sampled from a stone wall in St. Catherine's Bay on the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel in 1989. The initial population sample was 12 individuals. The sequenced individual represents a recombination of the original sample due to regeneration of the accession.
